Week in Review – June 21, 2013

las vegasOur on-location coverage of the Royal Princess continued to top the news this week with a story on the top “wow” features of the new ship. Our cruise editor was particularly impressed by the design of the ship’s massive Grand Atrium, the top pool deck and the SeaWalk with nearby SeaView bar.

On land, we were looking ahead to the Fourth of July with our roundup of the top festivities taking place in Las Vegas that weekend. Top firework shows included displays at Caesar’s Palace, Station Casinos, Lake Las Vegas, July 4th with the Las Vegas Philharmonic and the Boulder City Damboree Celebration. We also highlighted the Henderson 4th of July Celebration and the Summerlin Council Patriotic Parade.

Finally, we’ve been recognizing the top travel agents in social media this week with our Most Social Travel Advisor daily feature. We asked agents to submit their thoughts about what they were doing with social media and ranked the results by Klout score. The winners we’ve showcased so far are:
